Title: AI Didn't Make My Collection. It Helped Me Build It.
When people hear that an artist used AI, they often imagine typing a prompt and watching the work appear. That wasn't my experience. My first generative collection, Animated Flow, took weeks of learning, testing, breaking, fixing, and trying again. The collection on Opensea with the first 25 pieces minted. I'm not a developer. Before starting this project, I couldn't have explained how a generative artwork is built, let alone deployed onchain. I simply had an idea I couldn't stop thinking abo...

Title: From Anywhere to New Zealand
And I don’t take that lightly. Because not long ago, this kind of opportunity would have required shipping work across the world, navigating logistics, and relying on layers of intermediaries. Now? I’m often exhibiting internationally because of crypto. Because of NFTs. Because of a system that allows art to move as freely as ideas. Next week, that becomes real again through a new exhibition at The Line gallery, featuring artists from across different Lines, including one of my works.

Title: NFT Platforms Are Closing
After the Closures: Where Art NFTs Actually Stand Now Over the past months, several NFT platforms have announced their closure or slow wind-down. This week, I personally withdrew my remaining NFTs from Nifty Gateway and I’m currently in the process of wrapping up with Rodeo. When platforms shut down, the immediate reaction is panic, followed by declarations that “NFTs are dead.” That reaction usually comes from the same place that fueled the hype in the first place: a focus on platforms, liquidity, and speculation rather than on the art itself.

It was a time when Web3 felt alive — artists supporting artists, collectors celebrating creativity, and the digital art world expanding at light speed. I spent years building my presence there, one authentic interaction at a time. Last I checked, I sold around 40 ETH worth of art and spent about 50 ETH collecting from others. It was more than a marketplace — it was a living ecosystem of creativity and reciprocity.

Title: How NFTs Ruined My Art Career
I didn’t grow up with crypto. I grew up with oil paint. For 25 years, I worked in the traditional art world. That meant building a clientele, selling work, and (let’s be honest) creating what people would actually buy. Landscapes, tourist-friendly scenes, art that “fit” into homes. I wasn’t faking it — but I wasn’t fully free either. The only time I broke away from that cycle was a big project called Like a Girl, Dare to Dream. It was about empowerment, representation, impact.

Title: When a Painting Goes Viral… Without the Artist’s Name
One of my traditional oil paintings, Rainbow Row at Night, just showed up in a $7M historic mansion in Charleston—and quickly went viral across Zillow Gone Wild, HGTV, and even the printed pages of The Post & Courier. It was a surreal moment. Not just because my work was featured in national media—but because I wasn’t credited anywhere.
